Plastic, the Immune System and Chronic Inflammation
Could the plastic particles inside our bodies be triggering an inflammatory response?
In this episode of Beyond Plastic, Dr. Elie Haddad explores how microplastics and nanoplastics interact with the immune system and why scientists are investigating their potential role in chronic inflammation.
We examine research showing how plastic particles can activate immune cells, stimulate inflammatory cytokines, and trigger oxidative stress. We also explore the possible connections to cardiovascular disease, intestinal inflammation, and autoimmune disorders.
While laboratory studies reveal concerning…
